Short Answer
|
|
|
“Viewed and considered as a settlement, Virginia is far from being arrived at
that degree of perfection which it is capable of. Not a tenth of the land is yet cultivated: and that
which is cultivated, is far from being so in the most advantageous manner. It produces, however,
considerable quantities of grain and cattle, and fruit of many kinds. The Virginian pork is said to
be superior in flavour to any in the world, but the sheep and horned cattle being small and lean, the
meat of them is inferior to that of Great Britain, or indeed, of most parts of Europe. The horses are
fleet and beautiful; and the gentlemen of Virginia, who are exceedingly fond of horse-racing, have
spared no expense or trouble to improve the breed. . . .”
